[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 132326, member: 3579"] Sons gone Wild: Welcome. I'm both sad and glad that you found your way here. The folks around these parts have good hearts, great intentions, and are always willing to share whatever they have to help (even if, sometimes, we aren't immediately willing to hear or accept that help :) ) That said, I sincerely hope you keep looking as hard as you can for help. I'm from the Big Red Stick myself, and my family has a pretty solid rep in the rehab and justice system down there. I know there's help available, depending on where you are. PM me and I'll give you the little bit I know (we don't usually post names/locations of rehab facilities in public view here). Also, something I just discovered today: did you think of speaking with an attorney yet? Many criminal defense attorneys that handle drug cases are well versed with the treatment and rehab facilities in the area; they have to be, since it's their first option to keep their clients out of jail. Ask around, find the name of one or two GOOD attorneys that handle those types of cases in your area, and ask for some guidance. Also, I know La. is governed by a different judicial code than the rest of the country. It may (or may not) be easier to get your son judged to be a danger to himself or others, and then force him into treatment. Again, an attorney might be able to help. But if I remember right, down there the coroner's office is (was?) responsible for certifying all involuntary commitments to mental health facilities. I could be wrong, but it's another place to look. Finally, the local prosecutors could give you some good insight on how to force your son to get help. Believe me, even though there's a a fair share of rotten apples working as DA's down there, the majority of them would rather do what they can to help keep a kid OUT of jail than to see them in court on charges. Just make sure your questions are "hypothetical", and don't contain any incriminating details (unless it's your intent to get the law involved). This is tough for you. We all know. Come as often as you want, as often as you need to. Vent, ask for help, ask for prayers, or tell a funny joke to get your mind off the situation. Someone's always around. Prayers for you and yours.
